Why go

The Armaziskhevi site preserves foundations of a palace, bath, wine cellar and burial area linked to officials of ancient Kartli. It is a different site from Armaztsikhe on Bagineti Mountain.

Read the visible remains as an open-air archaeological landscape, not a reconstructed palace. Some finds are held in Tbilisi, so interpretation on site may be limited.
